    swollen ankles

    forgot to ask im holding a lot of water in my ankles for some reason been cruising at 200mg a week of test e , blood pressure last time I check was high... 135 over 80

    not sure whats causing me to hold all this water in my ankles and have high blood pressure

    currently battling with my doctor trying to get full panel done in the next couple of weeks hopefully trying to cut but seems im holding a lot of water for some unknown reason , I know high blood pressure and swollen ankles can be from blasting but im cruising for a while now

    Didnt mean to like that, hit wrong button.
    Bp is not causing that at that reading.
    Where do you dose hcg ?
    What is your sodium intake?
    Do you think you might have worked your legs a little too hard recently?

    Your BP is fine. I guess u measured it at the docs. Then its often a bit higher caused by stress.

    200 mg is not a TrT dose so I guess you are self dosing.

    Lowering to a TrT dose (120+ or - 20) will help reduce this side in the future.

    finally got my doctor to see me next week the 25th hopefully checking everything in the bloods cause I need a new prescription for test from him ,

    only thing that's really changed is I'm on my feet all day , 9+ hours working a retail job (supplement store)

    E2 levels wont know until he checks and hopfully he does

    HCG I do not use ,

    200mg Test E once a week UGL no AI

    sodium intake is pretty low considering I'm ketogenic and it should be high


    going to ask my doctor for a full panel for LDL HDL thyroid hormones everything and hopfully this time he actually does it as I pay for my health care and theres no provide labs here


    I check my blood pressure at the local drug store usually I will check again tonight and chime in , its been a while since I checked but doesn't hurt to stay on top of this , also im gaining weight lately.. not sure if that helps I can eat advergage 1200-1500 calories a day at 225 pounds and me weight stays the same or goes up I can eat 5k on a day and nothing changes something just doesn't seem right or feel right ,

    What is your sodium intake like? I've had it happen coming of a cut and eating bad again. They swelled up like balloons for a couple of days.

    200mg a week isn't a TRT dose? LOL!

    That's most people's starting dose. My doctor has me on 300/week.

    300mg is a mini cycle..

    Dosages for trt go anywhere from 50-500mg.
    Usual dosage are between 100-200, my brother is prescribed 200.
    300, I agree, is a mini cycle.
    I know so.eone on here that was prescribed 500 but his doctor pretty much understood it was a cycle he was prescribing.

    Doctors are just like anyone, their opinions on horomones and knowledge of them vary a lot. They put my brother on 200mg a week and they wanted to dose him once a month on Cypionate!!!
    I immediately told him to get the syringes and tell the doc he could do it himself and I put him on 100mg every 3.5 days.
    I told him to get hcg and ai but no dice...

    I aint the right giy to answer that, I only did it once but it left me feeling drained as hell. I felt lig a big sissy. As hardcore as you are I bet you need to do it regularly to keep hematocrit levels in check.

    yeah I felt great not even 12 hours later smashed back at the gym , but im also keto so I react differently I think



    I know donating blood is good for thinning it out and also lower red blood cell count and iron , but what else
